| The Trisuli River is Nepal's
most popular rafting river. Impressive gorges, exciting rapids,
some easier sections, and easily accessible from Katmandu and
Pokhara. Recommended for intermediate kayakers and those wanting
a cheap white water trip. Not far from the source the Trisuli
joins the Bhote Kosi that flows from Tibet. The two rivers joining
in some pretty fearsome looking gorges that are visible on the
way up to the Langtang Trek. The Buri river, the Marsyandi and
the Seti river ads to its flow.
When the Kali Gandaki joins it, shortly
before the plains, it changes its name to the Narayani. Here,
it is a truly mighty river, peak flows in the Monsoon have
been measured at 25,700 cusec (extreme, instantaneous discharge)
about 900,000 cubic feet per second or fifty times the typical
flow of Colorado river through the Grand Canyon.
